The Balearic Minister for Tourism, Celesti Alomar, hit the nail on the head when he said last week that the Balearic tourist industry has to bring itself up to date with the latest trends. The bucket and spade package holidays to the sun is becoming a thing of the past - more and more British travellers and going independent and tour operators, some of which are already paving the way for a New Year price war with two-for-one holidays currently on offer to try and kick start next summer's market, believe that the Mediterranean could become fashionable as a weekend destination and that the two-week package holiday on a traditional Mediterranean beach left in the last millennium. Tour operators have topped Cyprus as the destination for 2001 with bookings expected to rise by over 20 percent and tour operators are discovering that British holidaymakers to the Mediterranean want to explore the region instead of sitting on the beach. One leading tour operator, for example, is offering wine tasting in Majorca next year.
